Without Lifting A Finger

Fell onto this researching the old English ballad that Carey Mulligan and Michael Sheen sang in the film.

Made for a good movie but not sure I need to read the book (never say never). Swear I saw the earlier Julie Christie version, though I didn't remember the storyline a bit. * Far From the madding crowd's ignoble strife Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray ; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way .
